TVtattle.com notes that NBC.com has posted a return date for "Studio 60": May 24. Tattle notes that's the day after the May sweeps end. It's also after NBC announces its schedule for Fall 2007. Bad signs all around.

Of course, the show's fans will be happy. But if NBC was interested in making fans of dead shows happy, it could get those unaired "E-Ring" episodes off the shelf. And that "American Dreams" finale.

I've been flipping through "All Those Moments," a new autobiography by actor Rutger Hauer ("Blade Runner," "Batman Begins") but was dismayed by this passage:

I remember (Daryl Hannah) was doing a scene with Sebastian, played by William Sanderson, who became famous for his funny portrayal of a country bumpkin on the "Newhart" show. Few people can forget his signature line on that show -- "I'm Clarence, this is my brother Darrell, and this is my other brother Darrell. ...

Effective immediately, MSNBC will no longer simulcast the "Imus in the Morning" radio program. This decision comes as a result of an ongoing review process, which initially included the announcement of a suspension. It also takes into account many conversations with our own employees.

CBS and NBC statements about Don Imus, after the jump. As you read them, you should also take a look at Gwen Ifill's take on all this. I found that on Jim Romenesko's site where you can also find links to some especially craven remarks by a couple of journalists kissing up to Imus.

If you head over to Ohio.com, you should be able to find my what-ifs about "The Sopranos," a review of tonight's telecast, some thoughts about Halle Berry, this week's DVD column, a HeldenFiles (with trivia question) and a Channels cover piece on "Thank God You're Here."

Not long ago, I had a post about the great sports movies, both someone else's list and some movies I thought should have been included. And somehow, to my great shame, I didn't think about "Major League." Someone else mentioned it in a comment on that post -- but I had even forgotten that when I started this post.

Here's the official word on next week's "Idol" theme (which already has my podcast cohort Malcolm X Abram dismayed) with a few thoughts about song selections at the end:

Superstar Jennifer Lopez will work with the Top 8 finalists next week on a Latin-themed AMERICAN IDOL Tuesday, April 10 (8:00-9:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed), and will perform her new single “Qué Hiciste” on the AMERICAN IDOL results show Wednesday, April 11 (9:00-10:00 PM ET live/PT tape-delayed) on FOX. .
